I agree with every tip but "no crew neck t-shirt under a button-down shirt" tip. I think there is a distinction between a t-shirt and an undershirt. I agree that a crew neck undershirt should not show under a button-down dress shirt, but wearing a high-quality (sufficiently heavy cotton, for example) crew neck t-shirt under a casual button down shirt (whether the outer shirt is buttoned or unbuttoned) makes utilitarian sense on a crisp fall or spring day and doesn't look bad at all. Indeed, it's a layering opportunity from a styling perspective and a classic style.

Braces should really not be showing. Keep your jacket on and buttoned when you are standing/walking. If you are wearing a waist coat under a jacket you can get away with the jacket being unbuttoned. You don't need the belt in either case.

@BramClaes5 жыл бұрын
Belts have replaced suspenders in common day wear, so when people wear suspenders, they do it as a fashion statement; i.e "look how classic & old fashioned I dress!". In doing so, they forget the practical application of suspenders (keeping your pants up), and go on and wear a belt at the same time. Same thing with having them visible: back in the heyday of suspenders, they would be covered up with a waistcoat, but nowadays, it's an accessory in its own right

I have to take note of the last point on your list : tie bar & waistcoat - the purpose of a waistcoat is not to hold your tie in place! The purpose of a waistcoat is to add another layer to keep your warm (the orginal purpose) and to add depth to the suit/outfit. Although the tie can be held in place while wearing a waistcoat, not all ties will stay in place, silk madder ties is one I've found that do need a tie bar or pin at times. More course/rough kinds of knits do stay in place. Just saying! Love the videos BTW!

You highlighted a number of good points of what men should NOT do, so let me touch on a couple: trousers/pants length..... long is bad, but short is worse...you ever see those who wear their trousers/pants to where you can see their ankles (socks).....get the length correct whether that is single break or whatever suits the individual. Sorry to tell you that a good tailor can also fix the shoulders of a suit jacket/sport coat, so long as it is big (material can not grow) so the size/fit can be reduced. My advice to anyone wanting to look good in clothing is to find yourself a very good tailor, as no clothing ever fits everyone perfectly off the rack. Nice video keep’em coming 👍

Great video. I have a few more style mistakes that I see: 1. Accessories you wear that don't match your clothes. For example: rubber digital gym watch worn with suit, or black plastic wraparound sunglasses with a suit, or suit with belt that doesn't match colour of shoes. 2. Quality shoes yes, but make sure they are polished and that laces are not frayed 3. Collar stays - make sure they are inserted unless you are ok with collars looking floppy 4. Wearing dress shoes or loafers and appear 'sockless' - by not wearing socks! Wear 'no show' socks if you want that look. Don't go barefeet - you will smell up your shoes and ruin them! 5. Wearing a suit that is wrinkled. #1 - always hang your suit #2 never wrap your suit jacket around the frame of a chair #3 invest in a garment steamer or get your suit pressed if it is too wrinkled but not ready to be dry cleaned

Great points! Glad someone mentioned if the shoulders don't fit, no go. Slightly disagree with the shoulders based on research. You are correct for softer shoulders, however, some structured shoulders are a tad wider to further enhance the shoulder. In that case, too wide if the top of the sleeve dimples, at most should be strait down. Hope this helps someone. Will add belt loops on dress pants, especially light colors, without a belt. I am even more extreme and say no loops on suits, spoils the lines.

I disagree on tie bars mixed with vests. It depends entirely on the lapels & gorge of the vest. If you have a very high gorge, such as with a notched lapel or many no lapel vests, yes it is redundant and looks bad. However, if you have a low cut, especially with a double breasted or Shaw lapel, it can still look stylish and functional.

It`s true that both the waistcoat and the tie bar keep the tie in place. However, I sometimes like to give my tie a bit of a lift. This is easily done with a tie bar. I don`t think it should be a problem to wear both items as long as the tie bar is hidden behind the waistcoat.
